The Challenge

POLYRACK TECH-GROUP is the leading German manufacturer of both standard and customized packaging solutions for electronic equipment, including subracks, cases, industrial PC applications, and plug-in-modules. The company, which serves customers in the communications, broadcast, security, defense, transportation, utilities, and medical industries, as well as in test and measurement environments, needed a solution for quickly modeling design concepts to support faster proposal development as well as a means for improving collaboration with global customers.

The Solution

POLYRACK signed up for the Lighthouse Program for SOLIDWORKS® Mechanical Conceptual, the first SOLIDWORKS solution on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, after seeing a YouTube video introducing the software. By implementing SOLIDWORKS Mechanical Conceptual, POLYRACK has reduced time-to-market by 10 to 20 percent, cut initial design development from two weeks to two days, shortened international communications and decision-making, and accelerated prototype development.

Since the acquisition of SolidWorks software, Conceptual Designer, we managed to shorten the initial design development from two weeks to two days.
